Meeting the educational needs of restaurateurs

We sponsor ongoing training featuring topics specifically tailored to restaurants. Our programs include advanced food safety, alcohol server and more.

Ensuring public safety through reliable training

The Education Foundation has developed in-house video training kits for restaurateurs which fulfill the Washington State Liquor Control Board alcohol service regulations and state regulations in food worker card certification.* With these videos, foodservice operators can train their employees on important topics such as WAC codes, the Danger Zone, cross contamination, sanitizing methods, germs and chemicals before employees work with the public.
